Garry,
I know that yours is a Tri-gear and probably rides on a regular flat bed
trailer, but am I to understand that it wouldn't be a good idea to use the
factory transporter to haul my monowheel tail first when completed? That
would be a major problem and defeat one of the reasons for choosing a Europa
in the first place. I'd be trailering it everytime I flew it. Is this a
widespread problem?
Thanks.
Troy
